F6Bster covered about everything in the area. One other thing that is possible is to ride to Durango in the morning to see the train depart and then north on the Million Dollar Highway to Silverton and be there when the train pulls in there. Watching this narrow gauge steam train is a treat.. After Silverton continue north on the Million Dollar Highway to Ouray and Ridgway then over the Dallas Divide and south down through Telluride, over Lizard Head Pass and down the Dolores River Valley back to Cortez. This is the San Juan Skyway he mentioned, with three passes above 10,000 ft and one over 11,000 ft it is a great ride. All this in only 235 miles. This is one of the greatest rides in the country and even in August you will see snow on some of the high peaks.
Can't wait
